Rating: 85/100 – Nice to try a Bowmore from this era – it avoids the FWP notes of the 80s, but it also misses a lot of the beautiful tropical fruits from the 60s (although it has hints of those fruits).

Value for the money: At auction these seem to be going for around €300 or so. I’d pass at that price, but would pay up to maybe $150 or so.
